" Of pear and apple trees, particularly of the last, they had a plenty. Orchards ' prospered abundantly. ' One Apple Tree, from which some of their own hands plucked fruit, still survives, gnarled and hoary with age, to tell of two hundred and four- teen years ago ! It is upon the premises known as the Charter Oak Place, and its portrait, taken at our request by George Flagg Esq. , of New York, may be seen on Smith's recent map of the City. Though tottering it yet has strength — trembling at on...ce with energy and age. New but vigorous branches, amid a few withered hands that still stretch out, continue to shoot from its dilapidated trunk, as if it hated yet to yield its life, and clung, monument and memorializer of the sturdy hands that planted it, to the soil in which its roots were first sunk. It still yields its an- nual tribute of a few apples, the English Pearmain. Its proprietor very kindly gives us two or three each year. We eat them with intense satisfaction ! They ITS AGRICULTURE.
